At the Plimoth Plantation, villagers dress and talk in period costume and with dialects of the colonial days. This fellow loved to tell stories of his trip over on the Mayflower, on how his servants had no real understanding of the needs of a gentleman, and how different his life was compared to the commoners at the plantation. But best were his stories.. He flourished before the collection of riveted eyes and slack jaws. And when someone with a British accent in the crowd innocently asked a question, he brightened immensely and said "Are you from England?! Do tell of the news there..", and promptly asked if they knew some of his colleagues :-)

Thanks for the history lesson. You have captured a good photo of the vision of yesteryear. So what was the news from the English person?

Well, he certainly looks authentic. Lovely story and the shot is nice and sharp.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10

Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. ~Margery Williams The Velveteen Rabbit~

That is a great capture. From your description, it sounds like that would be a great experience. You captured the essence of this gentleman well along with his expression. Great job!
